The sad part is this story is so true to many of us
I'm really quiet my family barley hears me talk.
I've been asked if I was mute or deaf
my teacher one day asked me to write a paper so it ended up becoming a poem she enterd it into a local poet contest.
I felt so good after writing everything down I couldent stop and my friend asked me how I was I pulled out 10 pages and had her read it she shared it with everyone and they understood me better.
I ended up being invited to a poem reading because of what I wrote I was chosen out of 352 kids and there could only be 12 of us (I was the youngest there)

LYRICS
You've got the words to change a nation
But you're biting your tongue
You've spent a life time stuck in silence
Afraid you'll say something wrong
If no one ever hears it how we gonna learn your song?
So come on, come on
Come on, come on
You've got a heart as loud as lightning
So why let your voice be tamed?
Maybe we're a little different
There's no need to be ashamed
You've got the light to fight the shadows
So stop hiding it away
Come on, come on
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers,
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
Read all about it, oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
At night we're waking up the neighbors
While we sing away the blues
Making sure that we're remembered, yeah
'Cause we all matter too
If the truth has been forbidden
Then we're breaking all the rules
So come on, come on
Come on, come on,
Let's get the TV and the radio
To play our tune again
It's 'bout time we got some airplay of our version of events
There's no need to be afraid
I will sing with you my friend
Come on, come on
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers,
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
Read all about it, oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Yeah, we're all wonderful, wonderful people
So when did we all get so fearful?
Now we're finally finding our voices
So take a chance, come help me sing this
Yeah, we're all wonderful, wonderful people
So when did we all get so fearful?
And now we're finally finding our voices
Just take a chance, come help me sing this
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers,
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
Read all about it, oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers,
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
Read all about it, oh

[margotland]

I litteraly cried o.0
Dont let persons tell you how to live.. you are the only one who can decide that.
You are beautiful
You are smart
you are pretty
you are nice
you are you.
never let people change that.
Love yourself,
because you`re worth it <3

[okay]

as someone who’s gone through dark days and managed to pull through, i want to tell everyone who’s going through their own dark days that it’s going to be okay. you’re going to be okay. you’re going to survive this, you’re going to pull through and you’re going to come out of it stronger than you were before. you’re going to find your motivation to live, and you’re going to want to fight. don’t give up now, you’re so close to brighter days. we love you and we support you, you can do this.

[jjrose]

1 like 1 love to the people who are fighting for there life or for the broken ones and the people who fights for our wolrd.

[lorenr]

This song makes me feel better everytime I listen to it because I was always shy, to shy to sing in front of my own parents but I always loved to sing. To the people like me, don't be afraid to let your voice shine.

[edieisnotinteresting]

In primary, my name was always called wrongly(Even my head teacher says it wrong) .I cried and ran out of assembly.Teachers saw me do this and they saw I put my hand up to correct her.She ignored me.I had the whole class just shout my name correctly!I nearly cried and they knew what I was going through!

And that was on the last day of primary school.

Now, in year 7 and with none of my friends, I have to live with my fear again.But with this song, I'm more confident and stronger.Thank you!

[AllAboutNightcore]

Wait, your FIRST attempt? It's so good!

[nix]

I'm a song writer. I'm a singer. But I'm too afraid to move my mouth in front of others.im called weird I'm called strange but I still live to prove them all wrong never give up hope it will guide you throughout your whole life keep in dreaming and believing because everyone is unique in their own ways. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Remember to cherish your life for the time you have left.

I don't speak alot I just right in a book so I really love this song because now I talk a little more and talk a little more eatch day and now I'm not shy to be who I am now I know my life is hard I can't see my mom and my dad is in jail for 2 more years and used to cut and I can't see my 4 sisters and I never got to meet my brother I don't even now his name all I know is that he's 18 so yeah but I get through eatch day with....my friends by my side ☺

[janinas]

If the words you spoke... Appeared on your skin... Would you still be beautiful..?

[WhateverTheTurtle]

“You’ve spent a lifetime stuck in silence afraid you’ll say something wrong”






That line just described my life

[angelm]

I hide who I am. I get called "emo". I'm getting use to them calling me emo. Sure i have depression but i don't try to be emo....i want to be normal but i guess that is just to much to ask for. Please like if your not against emo people.

[antoniamanté]

I don't know but I think these lyrics are so endlessly strong and powerful. In my opinion it's not just a sad song, rather one which lets you go deep into your emotions and into your own thinking. Just wow

[breadenthusiast]

to everyone in here who relates to this song: when I was 13 or so, this was me as well. I never said anything and let people speak over me and I thought it would always be like this. I'm 18 now and way more confident. I've stopped being afraid of saying what I think and caring so much about other people's opinions. I still struggle with anxiety sometimes but not as often.

It really gets better. Don't give up, and I'm proud of you for continuing to live even though it sucks balls sometimes <3

[KimithaGaming]

This song is so written to me :D I used to hide who i was. I used to hide my inner strength... After hiding it for too long I become afraid, Depressed, Anxiety, if you had a happiness scale it would have been a 2/10 at best.

Then i started fighting my shadows and I started wanting to change. I am a leader, a person people can look to for help if they should seek it... I shouldnt be hiding who i am for anyone or let the world break me. So i started changing, slowly, very slowly but surely. :)

Then i defeated my shadows... Sure i have some grey days, but i cant complain anymore. My happiness scale is a 8/10 now. In some aspects of my life I had to become ice cold, like letting people go if they wanted to go i couldnt let that face me... And in some aspects of my life i become a sensitive person... I dont cry often, but when there are really happy moments, i do cry because to me, seeing other people succeed and being happy, thats my ultimate happiness. I am neither rich, nor popular nor am i very successful at anything i do.. But i am great with people AND i am happy. And that is a win in it self.

And for you people who go through the same battle. Well its raining now, but i can asure you that if you start eliminating people and things that make you depressed, Be it family, boyfriends, girlfriends, what ever... If they at all bring you down, get rid of them (Dont do anything stupid tho.) Only bring people with you to the top that deserve to be there when you succeed. It will get better.. but its not gonna happen right away, Its gonna happen when you are ready to let go of everything that bothers you and you start moving up. (just telling you will do it, does not count.. i've tried it... too many times.... DO SOMETHING instead)
